UFC superstar Conor McGregor thinks it's sometimes deeper than mixed martial arts. The prized fighter has revealed his potential interest in a political run and why he needs one more shot at boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr.

We got Conor chillin' in NYC with his GF, Dee Devlin ... and the UFC mega-star was positively giddy when we asked him about potentially running for office - something he teased on social media earlier this week. "Maybe, who knows?! I know they're shakin' in their boots anyway!!" Conor said. There's more ... when our guy tried (emphasis on "tried") asking about a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov ... McGregor immediately brought up Floyd Mayweather, saying he "needs to fight again." (TMZ)
